At the 62nd annual Emmy Awards, the television drama series "Mad Men" kept its crown as the best drama series. Furthermore the comedy show "Modern Family" dethroned "30 Rock" to establish itself as the best in the genre.

"Mad Men," which tells the story of an advertising agency in the 1960s, won the outstanding drama series award for the third year in a row.

Meanwhile, "Modern Family," which makes fun of the everyday life of three American families, emerged as the top winner for outstanding comedy series.

Television movie "Temple Grandin," which tells the story of a woman who triumphed over autism, also did well, boosting the standing of its producer, the Home Box Office cable television network.

The movie swept a total of three prizes: Claire Danes won for lead actress in a movie or miniseries.

Julia Ormond won supporting actress, and David Strathairn also won for "Temple Grandin" for supporting actor.

Hollywood's glitterati were out in force Sunday to fete television's finest performances, with actress Edie Falco nabbing one of the first coveted statuettes of the evening.

The evening at Los Angeles' Nokia Theater got underway with Falco, an alumna of the hit show "The Sopranos" winning top acting honors for her starring turn in the show "Nurse Jackie," a dark comedy in which she depicts a drug-abusing hospital worker.

"This is just the most ridiculous thing that has ever happened in the history of this ceremony," a flabbergasted Falco told the audience. "I'm not funny!"
